The Knights are those who serve at the pleasure of the sovereign and aid all those who are in need. They are soldiers, warriors, and devoted servants to their country, community, friends and family. Putting others before themselves they serve all for our own good.
The Knight of Swords – Keeper of the Ancient Faith. He is the Helper of the Wind. He is the sharpened blade of truth with logic and awareness that only comes from use. He is the representation of drawing the blade and taking action to become a warrior. The sensei, the teacher, the mentor, the drill sergeant, he is those who put you to the test to be your best through intellectual consideration and action. He is the SAT test, the Ph.D. oral exam, the Boards needed to pass to become a licensed professional, the internship that means endless days and sleepless nights.
The Knight of Wands – Impervious Clown. He is the Helper of the Flame. He is the burn that scorches ego, the banana’s peal that trips the careless, the truth in mockery that all those who will to make an attempt must endure. He is the representation of the pain of pretension that must be removed either willingly or by force. He is the fool, the jester, the office critic or smart-aleck coworker who sees your weakness and points it out with a joke and a laugh at your expense. It is the moment when you see behind the curtain and the wizard is just a lost old man. He is the one who will watch it all just burn down, the pyromaniac with an agenda.
The Knight of Cups – The Lifeguard. He is the Helper of the Wave. He is the one who fills the cup, enables those who become overwhelmed by the pull of the tide, the rush of the river or the strength of the current. He represents the much needed vacation, that old friend who calls to talk after bad news, the snow days that postpones tests and the cash bonus that comes unexpectedly but is much needed. He is the right song on the radio at just the right time, the love letter that is found under a pillow, the child’s hug that brightens up a cloudy day. It is the moment of breathing deeply, standing in the sun and the peace of knowing that this too shall pass.
The Knight of Disks – Healer. He is the Helper of the Earth. He is the good meal that nourishes the body, sunshine that awakens the fields and gardens, the late wakeup call that allows for good rest, the medicine that treats the fever, and the extra long run that sharpens the muscles, the heart, the lungs. He represents the need for intervention and change to find a better situation, the midterm report card, which leads to tutoring sessions, the worker’s evaluation that leads to different and better opportunities, fertilizer that kills the weeds and feeds the flowers, also the blood test that clarifies the condition. He is the balanced diet, the moment of quiet reflection in a moment of stress, the annual checkup, and the watering can which nourishes the house plants.
